I was shocked ,DPD managed to deliver a TV when they said they would  :o
new TV to use as a monitor because the  13 year old LG used 160 watts ,TV 32 watts 
whilst I'm all for making the planet warmer  8) financially the POS TV made sense  ::)

Thanks for keeping the OOF machinery turning  :)

it is 1/4 the weight,
1/4 the electric use ,
probably last 1/4 the time  :P
that said , the LG hasn't DIED , just retired

I like a Chinese  :)
It seems to be pretty consistent food/menu wherever you go
I've even had a really good sit down Chinese in Africa   :)
